ANNIE oSBORN:S OVERDOSE.
The COrOner's jury Has NO Power
To Say Whether The Druggist is
tn n

The death of Annie Osborn, at 81 East
Ninth street, from an overdose of colchi-
cum root, was investigated by coroner's
jury yesterday and verdict that the young
lady came to her death from Inflammation
of the stomach supernduced by OIL over
dose of the fluid extract of calebicum root,
was returned. The physicians who made
the post-mOrtem eX animation testified be-
fore the jury. Mary de Wallace and Della
Osborn, relatives of the deceased, gave
evidence with respect to the purchase of
the poison by the young Lady for rheumatic
pains, and Miss Della Osborn swore posi-
lively that the package was labeled ''coIchi-
cum root" and nothing more. Mr.. Men
ter, the registered drug clerk who put up
the package, testified that he labeled it
plainly 'colchlcum root-pais0n, and told
the young lady when she appl u for it that it
should be stepped in water, y, ad not more
than a teaspoonful taken fsg a Dose w.
V. Hawkins, the clerk, was called and
could not swear whether the package was
labeled poison" or not.
The jury, in returning their verdict,
stated that it was only in their power to
find where, when and by what means Miss
Osborn came to her death, and there was
no evidence to show that the druggist was
in any way responsible for her death, and
if the druggist had failed to comply with
the law in not informing the young lady as
to the character of the drug, the plosecu-
ton rested with the authori ties.
MIR. MILLS STATEMENT.
G. w. Mills, an intimate friend of the
family, takes exceptions to the reports pub
lished in the local papers, and last night
made the following statement:
Miss Osborn was taken sick within an
hour after taking the medicine. She did not
purchase the stuff herself, but sent her
younger sister, Della, after it. She asked for
cents worth of colchicum root She was
waited upon by young boy named A. W.
Hawkins. He was unable to find the root,
and the registered clerk. Menter, came and
found it for her. 1t was done up in an ordi-
nary package and labeled "Colchicum Rt.,
but nothing was marked on the label desig-
mating II as poisonous.
DR.. Eastman was called and was told
that til. girl had taken some medicine. The
paper had been destroyed and it was neces-
sary to go to the drug store to find out
what it was az the girl had forgotten.
Then for the first time she was told that
the root was poisonous and was given in
structions for its use. | went there the
next day and asked for 5 cents worth of
colchicum root, was waited upon by q
young man whose name l think was
| Croker He gave me the poisonous stuff
without any label or Instructions. l have
the package yet to prove what have said.
The coroner didn't call for additional proof
that The package was not labeled poison,

time; consequently the verdict is not as
